3.5.2. derefAliases
This operation does not support alias dereferencing during searching.
The client SHALL specify neverDerefAliases or derefFindingBaseObj for
the SearchRequest derefAliases parameter. The server SHALL treat
other values (e.g., derefInSearching, derefAlways) as protocol errors.

So entries that only enter the scope by virtue of a deref shouldn't really be considered. If that's the case, evaluating which entries to return can be simplified a fair amount.
